Jack reacher audio book torrent10/8/2023 ![]() ![]() But the 1990 Reacher is still recognisable. It becomes clear how the loss of these things would change him for the worse. The Army and his family give him stability and a sense of purpose. Reacher in 1990 seemed less damaged and less lost than the Reacher in the other books. I was fascinated to see how Reacher behaved with his older brother, a man who was killed in the first Jack Reacher book, \”Killing Floor\” and who\’s ghostwad evoked in the sixth book \”Without Fail\” when Reacher is approached by his brother\’s ex-girl friend. I enjoyed seeing Reacher outside the US, in Germany (where the US bases make everything seem as close to home as possible) and France in which Reacher, son of a French woman, seems more at home than in North Carolina. ![]() I know nothing of the US Army other than what I\’ve seen of their bases in Germany and the UK but I found Child\’s depiction of it convincing and compelling: the sheer scale of the organization as it was back then, the way bases are the same everywhere in the world, right down to the menus in the Officers\’ Club, the power of rank, the freedom to work the system, the complete lack of control on where and under whom you will serve. The plot is tight, complex and satisfying, spiced by conflicts with an asshole superior officer with an agenda and a larger mystery around a coordinated but unexplained large-scale re-assignment of Special Unit MPs. \”The Enemy\” explores how the US Army works via an investigation into the death of General. it deepened my understanding of how the Jack Reacher I met in the previous books came to be the way he is. ![]() \”The Enemy\” is a sort of \”Origins of Wolverine\” book. Perhaps it had the same impact on Lee Child because \”The Enemy is set entirely in Reacher\’s Army past. One of the things I enjoyed about the previous book, \”The Persuader\” was the glimpses it gave me of who Jack Reacher was when he was in the Army. \”The Enemy\”, the ninth Jack Reacher book, takes us back to January 1990, just after the fall of the Berlin Wall, when Reacher was a Major in the Military Police. ![]()
